Kiana Firouz: Give Her Asylum!

Iranian lesbian activist Kiana Firouz has released a breakthrough film at risk to her own life — detailing her struggle as a lesbian in Iran. She is now fighting for asylum in England and the world’s community should be heard in support of the petition.

With its lesbian sex scenes and admissions, Firouz would be subject to the death penalty in Iran. We have already seen how gleeful Iranian Sharia courts are in dispatching homosexuals, here and here.

The trailer of the film is below and it would make a trial in Iran a relatively short affair. However, when Firouz applied for refugee status in the UK, she was rejected.
